john/z28jdGilbert just brought up a good point and im not going into the McGwire thing again eventho comparing the famous 4 year stretch to Bonds last 4 years in laughable UNLESS youre only talking about home runs.
He mentioned McGriff needs 7 more home runs for 500 and he is coming back this season to try to get it.Does 7 extra homers over a 20 year career actually make a man better.Every 3rd year he couldve hit one more ball over the fence or 1 extra every 1200 at-bats carries just a little more and that makes him a better player because he reached a round number.McGriff should make the hall if people consider 500 to be a milestone that assures youre a hall of famer[just like 300 wins,or 3000 hits].I think 2490 hits,.284 avg and 1550 rbi's are good enough numbers to make up for 7 HRs
